Chapter 314 Return to the top of the list

"Crystal Palace, who just lost the ball, got a chance to counterattack. Colca received the ball from the left, broke through Ashley Cole, and quickly dribbled the ball along the left. Arsenal's defense line kept retreating, which was a good opportunity."

"Kolo Toure left his position and was about to grab it. Korca made a diagonal pass, Rishilahti quickly inserted it and shot directly. It was beautiful, the ball entered."

"Less than 1 minute after Arsenal scored, Crystal Palace used a very fast counterattack, and Korca broke through on the left and passed by 45 degrees. Richlahti made a powerful shot at the front of the penalty area, equalizing the score for Crystal Palace. This was a very beautiful counterattack, and Arsenal's defense was completely defeated."

Accompanied by the live commentator's shouts, Wenger looked serious in front of the visiting coach's seat of the Selhurst Park Stadium in Crystal Palace, and at the moment when Rich Lahti scored, he could not hide the flash of disappointment in his eyes.

How many times has this conceded a goal?

7 days ago, they challenged Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane Stadium and ushered in the North London derby. Although Arsenal finally defeated Tottenham Hotspur, the 4 score undoubtedly made Arsenal's defense very embarrassing. Many people even think that if Arsenal fails to win the championship in the end, he must have died on his own defense.

In fact, Arsenal's defensive problems have always existed since this season. This old problem that has been revealed last season, even after a summer, Wenger has not had a good solution, because throughout the summer, Wenger has been busy pacifying Vieira and introducing Arteta.

In the end, Vieira stayed, but Arteta did not come, but the team's problems were not well solved.

He is still on both sides, still has a 45-degree diagonal pass, and still has a gap between the central defender and the full-back. This is an old problem, but it has cost Arsenal a heavy price again and again, while Wenger has no good solution for the time being. After all, the game is one game after another, and there is no time for him to adjust and try slowly.

Standing in front of the visiting coach's seat, he clearly felt the team's morale was constantly passing.

A month ago, Arsenal was the most morale and fighting team in the Premier League. At that time, Arsenal was invincible. Not only was he leading Chelsea by 5 points, but he also swept almost all his opponents, with an offensive and unstoppable momentum. But until now, Arsenal seems to have become a blow-out drum that can be beaten by others.

This is the professional league. When your tactical problems are exposed and everyone discovers, that is when you are deadly. So in this game, Crystal Palace even lets Colka start directly.

This former Eindhoven player has never been able to perform well in the past few years. After coming to Crystal Palace, he was mainly substitute, but he won the starter in this game. The reason is very simple, he wanted to use his ability on the wing and use him to attack Arsenal's weaknesses. As a result, it worked

From leading by 5 points to leading by 1 points, the situation is in jeopardy. Arsenal has fallen from heaven to hell. Wenger himself feels a little depressed, let alone this group of players?

"I received the news that at Craven Farm Stadium, Chelsea is currently leading Fulham by 30." Assistant Pat Rice walked to Wenger's side and carefully reminded the French head coach that Arsenal must fight.

Wenger was stunned, and the expression on his face became more and more serious, because he knew very clearly what this meant. Fulham could no longer reverse Chelsea, and there was no possibility of equalizing. If Arsenal could not win Crystal Palace, then they would give up their position as the leader.

"Damn it, they seem like they're going crazy lately," Pat Rice complained helplessly.

Indeed, in recent rounds, Chelsea has been defeating their opponents continuously. After defeating Blackburn from 0, the team seems to be in a state of crazy, winning streaks one after another. This game has only been more than a few minutes in UU and has led 30 more. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be at least a complete victory of more than 3 goals.

After Wenger heard this, he squeezed out a smile bitterly. Isn’t Chelsea’s condition the same as Arsenal in the early stage of the season? The difference is that the feng shui turns, and Arsenal is the one who has been at the limelight in the early stage of the season, and now it’s Chelsea’s turn.

In fact, strictly speaking, all teams are in the same state, with ups and downs, and it is not a big secret to the secret of fighting for the league. The kingly way is to defeat your opponent when you are in good condition, and how to grab points when you are in bad condition.

Wenger has always regarded Chelsea as a big concern. One very important reason is that Ye Qiu's scoring points is very efficient. Even if Chelsea was in poor condition after the start, the Blues still steadily grabbed points in every round, biting Arsenal tightly, creating pressure on the Gunners, and creating a foundation for the subsequent catch-up and overtaking.

In fact, Arsenal's current situation is not too bad, but there is a very serious problem, that is, there are too many draws.

It’s not that Arsenal’s offensive ability is not good, but that the opponent has begun to clearly set up defense against Arsenal’s weaknesses. It’s like two people fighting and your fatal hole is pinched by the opponent. How can you do your best to attack the opponent? You always have to be attentive to guard against your weaknesses, right?

Speaking of Arsenal itself, many people say that Arsenal should keep pace with the times, give up the 44 style, and instead adopt the 3l or 433 tactics that are more in line with modern football. However, Wenger also has his own concerns, which is the characteristics of the players.

44 is very moderate and balanced, with no big highlights. It is the most balanced tactics among all tactics that occupies the most balanced position in the field space area. From front to back from left to right, it is very balanced. Unlike 43Ef, the distance between the winger and the fullback is so long, and it is not too diluted like 4Ef.

It can be said that there are no obvious shortcomings, but there are no big highlights.

If you carefully analyze Arsenal's midfielders, Pire and Lungberg are not players with the fast horse type on the wing. On the contrary, the characteristics of these two wing players are both different, which is why so many people say that Arsenal's offense is two-way.

Without a suitable winger, playing 433 is undoubtedly a death, because 433 not only requires very high physical and tactical qualities of players, but also has high requirements for wing players, which is something Arsenal does not have.

It can be foreseen that if Arsenal is tough to play 43, the gap between Pire and Lungberg and the left and right full-backs will be exposed. At that time, the opponent will still catch this point to play. What is the difference between this and 44? Just changing the soup but not changing the medicine? And you have to bear the risks and adaptation problems brought by changing the lineup. Is it worth it?

Considering that Pire and Lungberg are more like wingers, if Arsenal wants to continue to maintain their smooth passes and receptions, 45l will be a good choice compared to the current tactical system. The 5 midfielder is actually a change of 44, and Wenger makes Borgkamp retreat from time to time, which is actually playing 45.

To fill the team's current defensive gap, it is ideal to go to a midfielder who can protect Gilberto Silva from both sides, but after removing a striker, the team's advancement is a problem, because Arsenal does not have a tactical fulcrum ahead.

Is Henry the tactical fulcrum? No one who knows Henry will think so

The French striker has outstanding personal abilities and technical skills, but you have to walk on the ground, and his technical and speed advantages have to be distanced from the defensive players to be reflected, which limits him to become a bottleneck for tactical center.

Wenger even felt that one of the important reasons why Henry could not gain a foothold in Serie A was that he was not used to the ubiquitous tactical restrictions and controls in Serie A. After he arrived in the Premier League, he could pull to the side to breathe free air and show his own characteristics at will. However, it was obviously not possible in Serie A.

Many times, the head coach can decide on tactical styles, but the players are also controlling the team's tactics. Unless Wenger wants to make drastic reforms and reorganize the team's lineup, he will not be able to change the team.

Wenger didn't envy Ye Qiu. He just felt that Ye Qiu was like a backpacker who was relaxed on the road. He could change whatever he wanted. Maybe when he reorganized Chelsea, he considered playing 43l for a year, but Wenger obviously couldn't do it. He was now covered in luggage, which made him a little breathless. If he wanted to turn around, he would have to be exhausted and sweat.

When he thought of this, Wenger couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. He didn't even dare to sigh. After seeing that the team's situation had not changed much, he immediately walked to the sidelines and kept calling on the players to continue to press forward, and at the same time called Borgkamp.

At the critical moment, the Ice Prince is still reliable

Soon, Wenger replaced Lungberg with Borgkamp and asked Reyes to play the wing. Borgkamp appropriately retreated to assist the midfield, and Vieira's position retreated a little to help protect the defense line.

Especially in the past two years, with the seduction of Vieira by Real Madrid, Chelsea and other giant teams, Wenger has also clearly felt Vieira's increasingly growing temper, especially as Keane gradually faded out of the top midfielder, the French midfielder has become the veritable best midfielder in the Premier League and even Europe.

With the surge in fame, Vieira's temper also rose. Coupled with the joining of Gilberto Silva and Wenger's adjustment to the midfield, Vieira began to undertake more and more organizational and offensive tasks. While the French midfielder became more and more outstanding, he was also becoming more and more impetuous. Especially this summer, he was clamoring to switch to Real Madrid, which completely lost his form.

Although Vieira recovered some form not long ago and performed very well, now, he has been performing worse and worse with the team's downturn. He no longer has the fighting spirit of sweeping the midfielder back then, and has lost his tenacious fighting spirit.

Perhaps, this is a common problem that players will have afterwards

Or maybe, as early as the summer, I should have been more decisive and let him go

Wenger was on the sidelines and looked at Vieira who lacked fighting spirit on the court. This thought came to his mind for the first time.

Players are prone to lack fighting spirit and hunger for victory. The most obvious one is the group of superstars in Real Madrid.

Although Wenger made three adjustments and hoped that the team could turn the situation around, Crystal Palace was obviously prepared for this, and did not give Arsenal any chance. After equalizing the score, they seemed to have lost the idea of ​​continuing to attack, and were more of a symbolic harassment tactic.

In the end, Arsenal drew with Crystal Palace away.

What makes all Arsenal fans feel depressed and disappointed is that Chelsea beat Fulham 0 away games

When the Premier League ended on 13th on the 13th of the 13th of the 13th of the 13th, all newspapers used madness to describe Chelsea's recent state, because they completely launched an extremely powerful offensive.

Since 0 defeats Blackburn, 0 defeats West Bromwich, 0 defeats Everton, and 0 defeats Fulham, Chelsea has won four consecutive victories in the past four Premier League rounds, but also scored 19 goals and had an amazing record of zero conceded goals. This has to be said to have shocked the whole of Europe.

Not only that, Chelsea also ushered in two consecutive victories in the League Cup. In the round of 16 knockout match against Newcastle, even though Ye Qiu arranged most of the substitutes and young players to play, he still defeated Newcastle with 0. The latter's current Premier League ranking fell to 10th place, and Sones completely exposed his background.

After the 13th round of the Premier League, Chelsea finally reversed Arsenal, which has remained unbeaten this season. With a lead of points, it has taken the lead this season to take the throne of the Premier League for the first time.

At the press conference after the away game to Fulham, Ye Qiu was happy with the team's re-top, but he did not forget to further attack his competitors.

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed that Arsenal was overtaken by us so early, because they could have performed better, which will bring more stimulation to us. The stronger the opponents, the more we have the fighting spirit and can play better. I believe this is the real idea of ​​all our Chelsea players."

"I think Arsenal is facing a big problem now, that is, when you have the best-running system in the past and can't play now, how can you continue to win?"

Ye Qiu felt that he should be justified now, and at least he should regain the rewards and affirmations he deserved.

"Many people have doubted me before and kept asking me why I changed from 43l to 3I. I also have a clear answer. I need a tactic with a stronger sense of rhythm. I don't want to continue to use the tactics of winning the championship last season, because the opponent will constantly study our weaknesses against our past tactics and defeat us."

"It's really a bit of a risky move, and we've been affected by the start of the league, but it turns out that my decision is right. At least until now, our team has been adjusting and operating as well. Our opponents are still adapting to our tactics, while we are becoming more offensive and impactful."

It can be said that so far, the offense of the second-tier team of Ronaldinho, Lampard and Rooney, coupled with Drogba in front, has become the strongest offensive combination in the Premier League. Macon and Evra's forward and support on both wings have also helped Chelsea provide a 45-degree diagonal pass with stronger tactical width and stealth.

Rich offensive routines and more rhythmic field control have made Chelsea's offense more changeable. Although opponents can also use Chelsea's weaknesses to launch an attack, in Chelsea's increasingly skillful control rhythms, there are very few teams that can do this, and maybe many people are still studying Chelsea's weaknesses.

"What I want to say here is that I never feel that the tactics in this world are of cleverness or clumsy, but I have always believed that there is no perfect tactic in this world, so every set of tactics in each lineup needs you to constantly improve and strengthen. Only in this way can you be invincible forever."

Many media have reprinted Ye Qiu's words, and many journalists and professionals have also commented on them. Many people who have attacked Ye Qiu before have now apologized, believing that they were indeed too short-sighted at the beginning. But facts have proved that keeping pace with the times and constantly reforming is the basis for the prosperity of a team leader.

Of course, some journalists and media are still bombarding Ye Qiu, but this time the angle of bombardment changed. They began to bombard Ye Qiu with pride, believing that Ye Qiu's team had improved slightly, they immediately became obsessed and even a little arrogant. Sooner or later, this will make Chelsea fall from the leader again.

Ye Qiu has always believed one thing, that is, he wants to be punished, so there is no refusal to worry about it

When a person wants to attack you, no matter what you say, he can find reasons and words, and unfortunately, you will never wake up a person who pretends to be sleepy or pretends to be crazy.

After playing the 13th round of the Premier League, the mid-week was a national team game. However, because Ye Qiu had done some work before, Chelsea's 13 international players were selected this time, and they basically played in Europe. In addition to giving others a day off, Ye Qiu began to prepare to continue to adjust his physical fitness, because it was the month soon.

A week later, Chelsea played against Bolton at home. Although Ye Qiu's team only had half of the main lineup, they continued to make great strides, defeating Bolton by 0, while Arsenal drew West Bromvic again at his home court, and the gap between the two sides quickly widened to 4 points.
